How SignMyPad App Works?

SignMyPad app for Android is surprisingly easy to use. The main screen shows the PDF files you’ve loaded, as well as your action buttons: Refresh, Download and Instructions. The ‘Instructions’ button gives detailed instructions on how to use the application, backed by a video demo of the same.

Once you’ve installed SignMyPad app, while opening a PDF file, you’ll be given an option to open the PDF either in the PDF viewer or SignMyPad. Choosing the latter takes you directly into SignMyPad application, in the editing mode. In the editing mode, you can mark it up the way you wish, and scale the mark ups to fit the document. The app also lets you add elements such as check box, radio button, date, and text alongside signature.

Once you’ve done with the edit, you can opt to save the file, or save a copy in a preferred location. Alternatively, you can directly send it to your email or DropBox. However, lack of integration with Gmail or the email client stands out as one is required to type in the email address of the recipient every time an email is desired to be sent.
